Former South Florida U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler on Tuesday defended President Barack Obama‘s support for Israel, after Obama was criticized for omitting language from the Democratic party platform that identified Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Speaking at the Democratic convention, Wexler said, “Over the past four years the president has proven this commitment time and again in both word and deed and the Democratic Party platform reflects the president’s unflinching commitment to Israel’s security and future as a Jewish state.”
